News, Gossip & Scandal from the world of CTP Teams!

Happy International Day of Sweeva Day

Sweeva is different. Yes it has a longer timer, but Sweeva is unique and the long timer is actually a really positive feature.

Everyone sees the same page at the same time and the focus is on the quality of the splash page and creativity of the advertiser.

Being unique and standing out is what Sweeva is all about…and today we are having a massive Sweeva Day surf party to launch the new look Sweeva.

The site is getting a dramatic new look today and we can’t wait to show it off to the world at the Surf Party.

So get your unique splash pages seen, be creative with your XP giveaway offers, don’t forget your pictures of animals in silly clothes (if you were watching TELive recently you will know what I am talking about) and just generally be awesome.

Let’s be honest here. You said, and I quote, “Yes it has a longer timer, but Sweeva is unique and the long timer is actually a really positive feature.
Everyone sees the same page at the same time and the focus is on the quality of the splash page and creativity of the advertiser.”

Oh Please! Who the heck has 20 or 30 seconds in most cases to sit staring at someone’s Ad? Who does that for 10 hours a day or more?

We’re all clicking away furiously Nerd Surfing, with a dozen different tabs open across the top skipping over them like a stone on water to get the max points for the day, to get Keys, to get Badges, to get Pennies!!

You really think anyone appreciates a 20/30 second timer to ‘appreciate’ ad Ad?

I agree with you Lorna…..A 10 to 15 second display of ads is more than enough.
Compared to “No-Timers” where folks just rush through the display of ads.
The folks that appreciate the longer timers are the ones that choose them -as if ,like you said,”You really think anyone appreciates a 20/30 second timer to ‘appreciate’ ad Ad?

I remember how much fun several of us had trying to break Sweeva before it opened to the public. Hard to believe that was more than four years ago now. I think Sweeva’s just fine as it is… it was never meant to be a normal TE, it was meant for feedback (though many use it for just publicity as well)… I hope it always retains its Sweeveness 🙂

I am ready. Don’t get mad if my CTP Video comes up and goes for 60 second. It takes 30 seconds for the video to catch up with the words. But I think the words are too important to leave out and start it at 30 seconds. Check it out…don’t get mad…click to save it and watch the whole thing when you have more time. Enjoy the party…let’s have fun and improve our sites. 😉

Sweeva is the first place I test my designs before it goes to the masses of exposure. Some designs make it, some don’t. The feedback is what gets me to that perfect design.

All the haters. Your badly mistaken of the effectiveness of Sweeva. It consistently ranks high for me in conversions. But then again any hater obliviously don’t care about conversion, and that is their own loss.

I Love Sweeva because of it’s long timer.
The great place to test my design and I get constructive feedback there. I have a good result today because of daily challenge in Sweeva, and I use less than 1000 credits to get referrals or subscribers.
Indeed it’s not good for surfers to complete the Tier in Daily Challenge, but it’s really good for advertisers. So why not be an advertiser today?

I really love reading ads in Sweeva because I can tell which splash is eye-catching and learn from it. It really help my business.

Sweeva is unique, diff in many ways yes…for those who just look to click like “Hell” true all sites around…and not even peek at ads, then they maybe complain..but then again they have not learned all about marketing yet I guess.

We missed you Karen, I like Sweeva when it is used as it was originally hoped for. I remember how excited Ken was about a new way of helping each other out. I am not sure very many people understand any more that the whole idea is to share the good things and things that can be improved… and to encourage each other to keep growing. Yes the Sweeva party with Jon officiating was a good example of the kind of things that are helpful or that we can take to heart if we feel it is an appropriate comment. I will say surfing Sweeva as one of the challenges was not a very good choice. It actually changes the direction that we want to be going in Sweeva. I do understand it was being honored today for the birthday but maybe there could have been rewards for comments made as well so we did not feel the rush to count down rather than truely analyzing the pages.
